Concord was one of Sony’s early representatives for the company’s commitment to live service. The game was released with a mixed reception before suddenly facing a server shutdown in under two weeks. Sony never provided any way for players to band together, similar to other closed games like Knockout City. This decision would influence the most dedicated fans who recently came up with the private online servers themselves. They even created YouTube videos to showcase their modded work for the game until they were met with major issues.
It’s been reported that the modders faced DMCA notices on YouTube videos revealing the unofficial Concord servers. They were taken down by MarkScan Company, which assisted with licensing requests from larger companies like Sony.
The current status of Concord will depend on how far Sony will continue the DMCA approach. The modders even messaged their Discord community about halting their current work and invitations for the private servers until further notice.
“Due to worrying legal action we’ve decided to pause invites for the time being.”
